From good roots, grow good flowers.

My paternal grandmother is an American citizen and was born in New York. She lived in the tenements with her family and then moved back to Sicily when the Great Depression hit.

May just have this lead to a p5 drawing.

Not sure if we are going to do this tbh!

Garden Shovel: Salvatore Cali Sr.

My Paternal grandfather is represented by a garden shovel because gardening was his passion. He came to America in the 1950s. Trained as a carpenter, he made a living in Brooklyn and eventually purchased some land in Pennsylvania, where he was able to grow all kinds of vegetables. He just recently celebrated his 100th Birthday!

Barber Scissors: Alfredo Lengua

The barber scissors represent my maternal grandfather.

Yarn: Gerarda Lengua

My maternal grandmother is a master of crocheting.

The Sun represents the future.

Hmmmm I wonder what this could be!
